MegaFlashROManager

Revision as of 16:36, 16 March 2011 by TFM (Talk | contribs) (→‎Weblinks)

The program MegaFlashROManager for FutureOS and AMSDOS/BASIC allows the management of the 256 KB/512 KB Flash-ROM (=Pseudo-ROM) of the MegaFlash developed by Bryce of FutureSoft. You can load/save all 16/32 ROMs at once. And every single 16 KB Flash-ROM can be managed individually. This software is being currently developed by TFM of FutureSoft. The first beta version is available now.

MegaFlashROManager


MegaFlashROManager provides the following functions:

  • Park or Unpark ROMs: This is done by manipulating the Byte at &C000. A parked ROM will not be initialized by the firmware.
  • Load ROM(s) (one or all 16/32): This function allows to load a 16 ROM (or 16 ROMs of 16 KB at once) and to install it in the MegaFlash.
  • Save ROM(s) (one or all 16/32): Saves one or all ROMs to disc or hard disc. This feature can be used to create backups.
  • Copy ROM(s): Allows copying the content of one ROM select (16 KB) to another. You can use this function for example to copy the BASIC ROM to all free ROM selects.
  • Shift ROM(s): Shifts a 16 KB ROM from one ROM select to another, the old ROM select will be filled with &FF bytes.
  • Erase ROM(s): Deletes a 16 KB ROM with &FF bytes.
  • Test ROM(s): Provide information about a ROM like Type, Version, Mark, ROM name etc. Further you can install the correct checksum to a changed ROM. The ROMs at position 0 (usually the BASIC ROM) and 7 (usually AmsDOS) are protected.
